The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the components needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable way.
If you want to get an example node running quickly you can execute the following getting started script:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/master/scripts/getting-started.sh | bash
- 🦀 rust-docs
- Introduction to each component of the Polkadot SDK: Substrate, FRAME, Cumulus, and XCM
- Guides, namely how to build your first FRAME pallet
- Templates for starting a new project.
- External Resources
The Polkadot SDK is released every three months as a stableYYMMDD
release. They are supported for
one year with patches. See the next upcoming versions in the Release
Registry.
You can use psvm
to update all dependencies to a specific
version without needing to manually select the correct version for each crate.
Polkadot SDK Version Manager: A simple tool to manage and update the Polkadot SDK dependencies in any Cargo.toml file. It will automatically update the Polkadot SDK dependencies to their correct crates.io version.

Development in this repo usually goes hand in hand with the fellowship
organization. In short,
this repository provides all the SDK pieces needed to build both Polkadot and its parachains. But,
the actual Polkadot runtime lives in the fellowship/runtimes
repository. Read more about the
fellowship, this separation, the RFC process
here.
This repository is the amalgamation of 3 separate repositories that used to make up Polkadot SDK, namely Substrate, Polkadot and Cumulus. Read more about the merge and its history here.
